Multiplayer in NMS is co-op only.

If you do Nexus missions there will be other players there. Otherwise, if none of your friends join your game, you'll only see other players while you're in a Nexus.

NMS is an extremely broad but shallow game. This makes it really impressive... for a short time only.

That doesn't matter in the enterprise space, and even less when you're Microsoft and you control both the hosting environment and the software running in it. CUDA is important to researchers and hobbyists but an org the size of Microsoft can afford to write code to interface to something else even if they don't control all of it.

There is also a lot of other work that it can do really well.

I was asked to create a little one page process flow chart for some stuff my team maintains. We had all the documentation for everything as handfuls of markdown files in each code repository. The thing is not complex. I could have opened Visio and created a nice looking chart in probably 1/2 an hour to an hour.

Instead I told Claude to do it. It was done in seconds, took be me about five min to look it over and conclude there were no major errors, incorrect over simplifications, or serious omissions. Another few min to propose some minor edits and then it was done.

Now we have nice executive level one pager to quickly explain to anyone business side roughly how the system works, rather than a collection of technical documents i have sit in a meeting with them and go over. No it can't do everything. Yes there are serious problems when it comes to authoring code etc that will quickly become serious problems with any project where the person doing the vibe code does not have real experience and understanding as far as software development.

That does not mean this stuff isn't really useful and valuable. My advice to the people screaming claude/codex/etc are not good tools is rethink that or you're going to get left behind by someone who probably isn't half as skilled as you are but isn't refusing to use tools that make the job better. You're that guy inserting assert()s and printf()s into code every other line and doing 25 build-run-test turns while the rest of your team has moved on to an debugger and and IDE that will let them step thru. Seriously that is who you are right now.

The only way to have police forces hold back crime is to dismantle police forces.

They are the criminals now. Over a thousand people killed by police every year in the US. More theft by police than burglars every year. They're a huge burden on society, they are the enemy.

And ALPR isn't a tool, it's an automated invasion of privacy.

RAM will get cheaper at some point. There is money in memory manufacturing right now. There is also a risk the chip makers see that the demand will taper. If the demand actually proves durable, I think it will at this point, they will decide to meet the market; because if they don't someone like Zukerburg or Elon really will decide to build their own chip fab without the help of TSMC if that is what it takes.

In 1982 you're PC had 32K or maybe 64K of memory. Today it has 32G or maybe 64G of memory, more if you are an enthusiast or self employed using it for specific work loads. I don't think it is really unreasonable to expect home desktops with frequently be equipped with a 1TB of memory by the middle 2030s. Which is the point that good enough model you can run at home will be Fable class at that point. I think we can also count on at least some efficiency gains over the dense models mostly being used today, so getting their on single PC is realistic.

Will there still be hosted models in time sharing data-center environments sure but they will be packed with IT services or back ending massive operations like facebook, not answering "why didn't my cake rise" or "Please review this stack trace, the uncaught illegal type conversion should not have happened, the dataAPI should never have exposed retainageAmount as a string, the record should have been copied to rejected_inputs blob store and skipped, why did it think "Chris.S.A" could be parsed as a float? Please to no propose adding an argument error exception handler at presentation layer, the data should already be strictly validated by the dataAPI, if we have a type problem here we don't want to swallow the error and there is no reasonable corrective action to give us accurate results and a proper audit.".
